APPLICATIONS

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADM2484E is an isolated data transceiver with ±15 kV ESD protection suitable for high speed, half- or full-duplex communication on multipoint transmission lines. For half­duplex operation, the transmitter outputs and receiver inputs share the same transmission line. Transmitter Output Pin Y links externally to Receiver Input Pin A, and Transmitter Output Pin Z links externally to Receiver Input Pin B.
Designed for balanced transmission lines, the ADM2484E complies with ANSI TIA/EIA RS-485-A-1998 and ISO 8482: 1987(E). The device employs Analog Devices, Inc., iCoupler®
technology to combine a 3-channel isolator, a three-state differential line driver, and a differential input receiver into a single package.
The differential transmitter outputs and receiver inputs feature electrostatic discharge circuitry that provides protection up to ±15 kV using the human body model (HBM). The logic side of the device can be powered with either a 5 V or a 3.3 V supply, whereas the bus side requires an isolated 3.3 V supply.
The device has current-limiting and thermal shutdown features to protect against output short circuits and situations where bus contention causes excessive power dissipation.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

ELECTRICAL ISOLATION

In the ADM2484E, electrical isolation is implemented on the logic side of the interface. Therefore, the part has two main sections: a digital isolation section and a transceiver section (see Figure 25). The driver input signal, which is applied to the TxD pin and referenced to the logic ground (GND across an isolation barrier to appear at the transceiver section referenced to the isolated ground (GND
). Similarly, the
2
receiver input, which is referenced to the isolated ground in the transceiver section, is coupled across the isolation barrier to appear at the RxD pin referenced to the logic ground.

iCoupler Technology

The digital signals transmit across the isolation barrier using iCoupler technology. This technique uses chip scale transformer windings to couple the digital signals magnetically from one side of the barrier to the other. Digital inputs are encoded into waveforms that are capable of exciting the primary transformer winding. At the secondary winding, the induced waveforms are decoded into the binary value that was originally transmitted.
Positive and negative logic transitions at the input cause narrow (~1 ns) pulses to be sent to the decoder via the transformer. The decoder is bistable and is, therefore, set or reset by the pulses, indicating input logic transitions. In the absence of logic transitions at the input for more than ~1 s, a periodic set of refresh pulses, indicative of the correct input state, are sent to ensure dc correctness at the output. If the decoder receives no internal pulses for more than about 5 s, then the input side is assumed to be unpowered or nonfunctional, in which case the output is forced to a default state (see Tab l e 1 0 ).

THERMAL SHUTDOWN

The ADM2484E contains thermal shutdown circuitry that protects the part from excessive power dissipation during fault conditions. Shorting the driver outputs to a low impedance source can result in high driver currents. The thermal sensing circuitry detects the increase in die temperature under this condition and disables the driver outputs. This circuitry is designed to disable the driver outputs when a die temperature of 150°C is reached. As the device cools, the drivers re-enable at a temperature of 140°C.

TRUE FAIL-SAFE RECEIVER INPUTS

The receiver inputs have a true fail-safe feature ensuring that the receiver output is high when the inputs are open or shorted. During line-idle conditions, when no driver on the bus is enabled, the voltage across a terminating resistor at the receiver input decays to 0 V. With traditional transceivers, receiver input thresholds specified between −200 mV and +200 mV mean that external bias resistors are required on the A and B pins to ensure that the receiver outputs are in a known state. The true fail-safe receiver input feature eliminates the need for bias resistors by specifying the receiver input threshold between −30 mV and −200 mV. The guaranteed negative threshold means that when the voltage between A and B decays to 0 V; the receiver output is guaran­teed to be high.

MAGNETIC FIELD IMMUNITY

The limitation on the magnetic field immunity of the iCoupler is set by the condition in which an induced voltage in the receiving coil of the transformer is large enough to either falsely set or reset the decoder. The following analysis defines the conditions under which this may occur. The 3 V operating condition of the ADM2484E is examined because it represents the most susceptible mode of operation.
The pulses at the transformer output have an amplitude greater then 1 V. The decoder has a sensing threshold of about 0.5 V, thus establishing a 0.5 V margin in which induced voltages can be tolerated.
The voltage induced across the receiving coil is given by

d

where:

Given the geometry of the receiving coil and an imposed requirement that the induced voltage is, at most, 50% of the
0.5 V margin at the decoder, a maximum allowable magnetic field can be determined using Figure 26.

For example, at a magnetic field frequency of 1 MHz, the maximum allowable magnetic field of 0.2 kgauss induces a voltage of 0.25 V at the receiving coil. This is about 50% of the sensing threshold and does not cause a faulty output transition. Similarly, if such an event occurs during a transmitted pulse and is the worst-case polarity, it reduces the received pulse from >1.0 V to 0.75 V, still well above the 0.5 V sensing threshold of the decoder.
Figure 27 shows the magnetic flux density values in terms of more familiar quantities, such as maximum allowable current flow at given distances away from the ADM2484E transformers.

With combinations of strong magnetic field and high frequency, any loops formed by PCB traces can induce error voltages large enough to trigger the thresholds of succeeding circuitry. Care should be taken in the layout of such traces to avoid this possibility.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

ISOLATED POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT

The ADM2484E requires isolated power capable of 3.3 V at up to approximately 75 mA (this current is dependent on the data rate and termination resistors used) to be supplied between the
and the GND2 pins. A transformer driver circuit with a
V
DD2
center tapped transformer and LDO can be used to generate the isolated 5 V supply, as shown in Figure 28. The center tapped transformer provides electrical isolation of the 5 V power supply. The primary winding of the transformer is excited with a pair of square waveforms that are 180° out of phase with each other. A pair of Schottky diodes and a smoothing capacitor are used to create a rectified signal from the secondary winding. The ADP3330 linear voltage regulator provides a regulated power supply to the bus-side circuitry (V

PC BOARD LAYOUT

The ADM2484E isolated RS-485 transceiver requires no external interface circuitry for the logic interfaces. Power supply bypassing is required at the input and output supply pins (see Figure 29). Bypass capacitors are conveniently connected between Pin 1 and Pin 2 for V
and between Pin 15 and Pin 16 for V
DD1
Best practice suggests the following:
A capacitor value between 0.01 µF and 0.1 µF.
A total lead length between both ends of the capacitor and
the input power supply pin that does not exceed 20 mm.
Unless the ground pair on each package side is connected
close to the package, consider bypassing between Pin 1 and Pin 8 and between Pin 9 and Pin 16.

In applications involving high common-mode transients, ensure that board coupling across the isolation barrier is minimized. Furthermore, design the board layout so that any coupling that does occur equally affects all pins on a given component side.

Failure to ensure this could cause voltage differentials between pins exceeding the absolute maximum ratings of the device, thereby leading to latch-up or permanent damage.
